I can see Lord Refa and Clark's factions both using this as an excuse to innovate, expand and launch certain endeavors.
As much as they tried to made Refa utterly unlikeable in the show (William Forward's contribution is so under-appreciated), at least he had some vision. I mean, what plan had more scrupulous nobles like Jaddo? Disarmament? Democracy? There is nothing showed anyone had any serious plan what to do with the Republic. Refa's solution was return to glorious past, whatever cost, to elevate his House in the process and I assumed that's why Londo joined forces with him, because he was the only viable option to do anything. Other Centauri couldn't care less, since I assume more of them thought more like money-focused Venezian merchants, not ambitious Roman nobles.
EDIT: I know the old emperor had some pacifistic dreams, but they were very clearly not shared by majority of his subjects, just by judging how extremely easy his underlings were purged after his death. Refa himself at the start doesn't seem overly confident with power of their faction and only time and continued support from Londo's 'friends' made him overconfident.
